Summary

Yuri doesn't care that he doesn't have a Soulmate. All he's ever cared about is skate, win, and earn money so he can put food on the table for both him and Grandpa. If Aphrodite doesn't give a shit about him, then he doesn't either. In contrast, Otabek, a firm believer in Aphrodite, still has years before he meets his Soulmate.

In which it only takes time for two people to fall in love, and love is free will.

Chapter 3: 2017, or the worst year to have realizations about feelings, Grandpa is rushed to the hospital, many tears are shed, and something happens between Yuri and Otabek that can either make or break their relationship forever.

Summary

By anyone’s standards, Snafu Shelton isn’t a typical leading man. He’s not charming, he doesn’t want to please the crowd. He never wants to answer any questions straight. He gives exactly zero fucks to all the things that he’s supposed to do to become a well-loved rockstar, and that frustrates the media.

Summary

A family can be many things. It can be nuclear, two parents, two children. It can be a grandmother trying her best to raise her daughter's son. It can be two fathers and their long awaited adopted child. It can be a sister working two jobs to support her younger brother.

Or it can be a fourteen year old with eyes like a lion's and super-strength, a glowing lesbian, her Wiccan sort-of girlfriend, a jock with an IQ of 173 that still doesn't know what he's doing, a girl who's got three feet thick concrete walls up (and also purple hair), her support dinosaur that does what she says no questions asked, and their de-facto leader, a boy who's just as scared as the rest of them but can't- won't- show it.

And maybe their situation isn't the best. They're on the run from the cops, a cult, and a murderous, glowing, Robbie Rotten knock-off, plus they're sleeping out of a stolen van. But they're a family, even if they're a weird one, and that's what matters.

Summary

“Do you still think of him?”

They ask this question all the time. Every interview, every competition—it always comes up one way or another. The words change sometimes, articles and verbs trading places and finding new identities as they spill from the mouths of reporters, friends, and family, but the question is always, always the same beneath the crushed veneer of wordplay.

And every time, Yuuri lies. He lies through his teeth.

“No,” he says. A tight-lipped smile. “Not anymore.”

(When tensions run high at the 2018 Olympics in PyeongChang, Viktor and Yuuri end up breaking off their engagement, much to the shock of the rest of the world. Four years later, Yuuri is preparing Minako's nephew for the 2022 Olympics in Beijing and Viktor is doing the same for Yuri Plisetsky, and no one is really all right with the situation at all.)

Summary
